To say Donald Trump has had a bad weekend would be an understatement. Trump, who normally makes the area between him and a television camera a dangerous place to be, was a Greta Garbo-like recluse yesterday, only stepping outside of Trump Tower for a moment to flash a thumbs up outside at the waiting media before disappearing back into his safe space.
There were a host of Republicans — current officeholders, former officeholders and others who either called on Donald Trump to step down and/or rescinded an endorsement. And the list is pretty big.
